                                                           A STEWARDSHIP MOMENT

                        I n today’s Gospel we witness the last evening Jesus spends with his disciples before his death. He has
                          already made it clear his followers will show their love for him by serving others. To live that kind of
                       love, they will need the active presence of God in their midst. Jesus tells his disciples he and his Father
                       will come and make their home with them. He also tells them the Holy Spirit will be among them to teach
                       them and remind them of all Jesus had taught. Good stewards recognize God is in their midst
                       and the Holy Spirit is guiding them. How often do we acknowledge God’s presence in our
                       lives? How often do we allow the Holy Spirit to guide us?

ETHICS & INTEGRITY IN MINISTRY (EIM)
Keeping current with EIM training is required for all who serve in ministry at STM. We are a no tolerance parish.
What is Ethics & Integrity in Ministry (EIM)? EIM is a diocesan training and screening process focused on helping
our community prevent and respond to abuse. It includes required workshops and background checks for all who work or
volunteer in ministry as well as policies for reporting abuse.
Why is EIM required for all who serve in ministry at St. Thomas More? We have a shared commitment to
ensuring our parish is a safe place for everyone, especially children and vulnerable adults. The more people who are aware of
abuse warning signs, the more effective we can be in keeping our communities safe (parish, neighborhood, family, schools).
With this in mind, our parish community is committed to following the Diocese of Austin's Ethics and Integrity in Ministry
(EIM) policies.

service. New applicants must attend an in-person EIM Workshop within 60 days of application submission and all applicants
